Focus on Jesus
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”—Luke 10:41–42 (NIV)
For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is no hope at all. For who hopes for what he sees?—Romans 8:24 (ESV)
No matter what problems you face, it’s important to keep hope alive in your life. Hope is a great renewing force. Whenever difficulties and trouble come upon you, ask God to reassure you that things will get better.
Father, You are my refuge and strength, brighten my dark thoughts and fill me with hope.
